RE: Newbie: When to upgrade draw weight?

Hiya Kinkychinky,
I must admit, I was measured up for my new ACCs a couple of months ago and I thought they were a bit long at the time. I have been shooting longer XX75's indoors during the winter season with out a clicker so I would have thought my draw length would have settled down. I found that the "blade" type clickers wouldn't quite reach, so hence the extender clicker. I am quite happy with my set up now that another club member spent a couple of hours with me helping me tune my bow with the new set up. The only trouble with an extender clicker is that if you have to move your sight in or out, the clicker has to move, but I have my sight set so I can shoot all but the shorter distances with out any major surgery other than moving the pin up and down.
As a beginner with just 6 months experience, you somehow don't feel right questioning the experience of the people supplying my kit. Hopefully I will be completely up-grading my kit for next years outdoor season, at least at that point I will know a bit more about the sport and know whether something looks right or not.
Best wishes,
Steve
